In general, a 6-year-old child may not be deemed competent to testify in court due to their age and understanding of the legal process. Courts typically consider a child's ability to comprehend the truth, the importance of their testimony, and the complexities of the situation. However, specific laws and regulations can vary by jurisdiction, so it's essential to consult legal counsel for guidance in your area.

If a 16 year old girl in the state of CA still does not testify under a subpoena and is found in contempt of the court will she go to a juvenile facility or jail and how much would her bail be set at?
I don't know in which facility the girl would be held. There is no bail for contempt. Contempt is the "willful" refusal to comply with a court's order. The only way to be released from jail is to comply with the court's order. In this case, the girl would remain in jail until she agrees to testify.
